“A beautiful day in Tokyo”
We had a wonderful time touring Tokyo with Carol! Even though the weather didn’t initially cooperate, we were so grateful for Carol’s flexibility in rescheduling our tour for the following day. She curated a thoughtful and personalized itinerary that perfectly matched our travel style and the interests we had shared beforehand. Carol introduced us to the beautiful side of the city—from serene shrines and lush parks to the stunning national gardens. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend booking a tour with her!

“Pleasant time with Carol”
We had a wonderful time exploring parts of Tokyo with Carol, She met us up promptly and we headed out to the major highlights. The time with her was on our first full day in Tokyo and it definitely helped with soft landing as well as gradually embracing the culture shock and navigating the transport system. She provided good insights as we went along and was also very helpful with tips and recommendation for the rest of our stay. The icing on the cake was the pictures Carol took of us during our time with her were some of the best and candid we had for our trip. Overall, it felt like meeting up and spending time with a friend and so will definitely recommend her service.
